Andthis is obscene and outrageous that we're even having a discussion today about the payment that is due the victims oftorture. I think in light ofwhat has happened at Abu Ghraib, in Iraq with respect to torture victims, I am shocked and saddened at the fact that we are having to engage in hearings such as these . ... We need to stop with this nonsense. I join with my colleagues in saying this has got to stop. Alderman Sandi Jackson, Chicago City Council Hearing on Police Torture, July 24, 2007 **** This was a serial torture operation that ran out ofArea 2...The pattern was there. Everybody knew what was going on. ...

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men (sic.) do nothing.” Edmund Burke In 1882 several “good” people of faith, were concerned and troubled by the social conditions in which some of their fellow Chicagoans lived. Determined to assist them in bettering their circumstances, they founded the Chicago Missionary Society, a predecessor of the Community Renewal Society. Since that time of urbanization and industrialization, which brought a massive influx of European immigrants to this city, Community Renewal has endeavored to ensure that the quality of life for all Chicagoans, regardless of their station, racial or ethnic identity, or their economic circumstance, was in keeping with God’s love for all, “especially the least of these.” Chicago still faces glaring inequalities and troubling disparities Honoring our historic legacy, we at Community among its people, including a widening gulf between rich and Renewal Society organize and train good people poor.

  • Gwendolyn Brooks 1917–2000
    Name _____________________________ Class _________________ Date __________________ The Civil Rights Movement Biography Gwendolyn Brooks 1917–2000 WHY SHE MADE HISTORY Gwendolyn Brooks was an award-winning poet, novelist, and a leader of the Black Arts Movement. She was also the first African American poet to receive a Pulitzer Prize. As you read the biography below, think about the role Gwendolyn Brooks’ writing played in the civil rights movement. Why was her poetry significant? Bettmann/CORBIS © As African Americans worked to bring an end to discrimination, most still lived in poor inner city neighborhoods. The Black Power movement focused on the need for social and economic reforms. A Black Arts Movement also emerged to tell the story of African American life. Poet Gwendolyn Brooks was at the forefront of this movement. Gwendolyn Brooks was born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1917. Two months after her birth, her family moved to Chicago, Illinois, where she would live for the rest of her life. Brooks was a shy child who developed an interest in writing. Her mother encouraged this interest, and teachers helped develop her talent. At an early age, Brooks was published in national magazines and newspapers. After graduation from high school, Brooks entered community college and received an associate’s degree. She worked at many different jobs, from maid to spiritual healer. Later she would write about these experiences. She was also involved in the Youth Council of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and helped found a club for young black artists and writers. Through this club, she met her future husband, poet Henry Blakely.
